The Obama family is passing out turkeys, stuffing and other Thanksgiving favorites to people at a food pantry organization.

President Obama tucked pumpkin pies into people’s bags at Martha’s Table in downtown Washington on Wednesday evening and wished them a happy holiday.

Obama’s two daughters, First Lady Michelle Obama and her mother, Marian Robinson, worked alongside the president, putting canned food, stuffing and fresh vegetables into bags. The president’s mother-in-law also handed out bags with frozen turkeys.

Children who attend educational services at the organization designed some of the bags, which were printed with the words “Every bag counts.”
